Both reviewers suggest minor revisions, and I would very much appreciate to receive a revised manuscript taking into account the reviewers' suggestions. In case the authors can easily obtain temporally resolved observations of near-surface air temperature at a nearby "inland" station, I would be interested to see how symmetric the average daily cycle of near-surface air temperature is in this region. I wonder whether a higher warming rate during daytime may contribute to the sharper precipitation maximum during daytime. Perhaps this could be a topic for an idealized model sensitivity study in the future.

Thank you once more for submitting your manuscript to Annales Geophysicae. Your manuscript is now accepted. And thank you very much for including the figure showing the diurnal cycle of surface temperature in Soekarno-Hatta on page 13 of your response and also for pointing me to the works by Araki et al. and Hadi et al.

I was interested to see how symmetric the diurnal temperature cycle over land would be. With a more symmetric temperature diurnal cycle I would have perhaps expected less difference in the sharpness of the afternoon to evening precipitation peak compared to the early morning precipitation peak. Perhaps this could be a topic for a future model study.
